Cllr Willie Quinn brought up an issue at a Bagenalstown Municipal District meeting this month about a wall and some soil that had collapsed on a road near Borris which was posing a danger to road users.

He added: "A chap nearly turned over a car a few weeks ago."

Cllr John Murphy said "stones crumble because of all the spraying and the Roundup (a popular pesticide)".

He warned: "Ditches crumble then because there is no vegetation to beef them up."
